Re: Cablecard v1 sets go dead
You REALLY think that Verizon is going to keep your CC1 equipment in play for ever either? You REALLY think that ANY provider is going to think of a small group and not move forward?
You should chose what works best for you, however, the early adopter, in this case, doesn't get the worm.. they usually get the shaft.
NEVER early adopt in technology as you will usually ALWAYS get shafted.
Good luck! At least you know you can still get equipment to hook up to your television.

Considering CC2, has backward capability with v1 yes, and the fact Verizon doesn't need sdv. Yes. Verizon has to do cablecard, it just doesnt have to the integration ban. I would hardly call Cablecard early adoption, its been available since 2001. Face it cable made a mistake, and is dragging that mistake for as long as it can. The OCAP requirement is going to ruin cable, and make for alot of angry customers.
